Remedies for cradle cap

Hi mum's so how do I get rid of cradle cap I thought only newborns get this my daughter will be 6 months this week and has had it for the first time. I've heard of rubbing olive oil on her scalp but she has a lot of hair.... It's giving me goosebumps looking at it

Not cradle cap but Jordan had a few dry patches on the top of his head a while back. I switched to the Milk baby shampoo and it went away after one wash :) it's a shampoo and conditioner so not drying. Not sure if it'll help cradle cap though but it def did the dry skin

Yeah my bub got it at like 4/5 months old. I used $4 coconut oil rubbed into scalp and then a baby brush and lightly rubbed the scalp to loosen in and then comb the scabby bits out and wash. Will be harder if bub has thick hair. It's so gross! I did it once and then again a few days later and it is gone and hasn't come back.

I just use baby oil but you need to leave it on for a little while. The longer the better. Then i gently wipe with a cloth or for my older boy I brush his hair and run my fingers over his scalp to get any stubborn spots.

I tried the olive oil, was told to leave over night with beanie and comb out next day. Did not work 100% I ended up shaving may boy's hair. Applied broad spectrum antibacterial and his skin was smooth again after two day. Still is. Good luck!
